2nd Gen C4 Hybrid bumper and bumper bracket not working with King reservoir Bracket.

Ok, so I just got my C4 2nd Gen Hybrid front bumper and in the process of putting it on and notice that the Bumper bracket does not fit with the King Reservoirs brackets. Does anyone have a work around regarding this or any modifications they have done to make it work with the King Reservoir brackets? Thanks.

 

Have pics??

 

Based on your pic I'd try removing the reservoir, mounting the bumper, then remove the bolt in that spot and modify the reservoir bracket to go under that bolt, mounted on top of the bumper bracket, because you're more likely to need to remove the reservoir for service than the bumper.

 

I see what you're saying, drill a hole in the king bracket...

 

Looks like an easy fix to be honest.

 

This. Modify the resi bracket as needed by bending it and/or drilling. Modify the bumper mounting bracket as needed by drilling another hole. The hardest part of these mods will be figuring out exactly where to drill an extra hole.

Mount the bumper bracket FIRST as it is much better for it to be in direct contact with the frame since it bears far greater loads than the resi bracket ever will.

Then mount the resi bracket over the bumper bracket. I did the same with my ARB bumper mounting bracket & FOX front resi's.

 

thanks

 

I'd honestly like to know what C4's method would be on this one. Have you tried reaching out to their customer support yet? Maybe they have a specific bracket they can send out instead of modifying (as simple as it is).

 

Known issue, you need to modify the King's bracket. I don't think I've seen different reservoir mounts but you could reach out to Accutune or C4 to get their feedback.

Other option is to change to a different bumper to frame reinforcement, such as BAMF.

 

I did reach out and they said they well talk to thier team and get back to me. So we'll see
